The Thing I like about the F line is the Quuens bivd line and the culver line, The F has the best Brooklyn line in the whole system. _________________________ R32 Phase II 1964-2008 R.I.P R62 and R62A on the (2) now!!!

Yeah, with the damn F, you have to get off at Lex-63rd and walk 4 blocks to 59 St. If I can help it, usually, I'd take the F to Rockerfeller and transfer to the D _________________________ IND/BMT rules, IRT drools

R32_3348 R32_3348 NYC Council Transportation Committee Chairperson Registered: 03/25/07 Posts: 2023 Loc: Jackson Heights	I don't see what the point of walking to 59th is if you're going uptown. Just walk to 68th, its faster since you don't have to backtrack and THEN wait for a train. If you miss one then you'll know that you would have caught it had you walked to 68th. _________________________ Photobucket -R160B8713 on NYCTForums

RokuSix RokuSix NYC Council Transportation Committee Chairperson Registered: 07/28/07 Posts: 2454 Loc: The Bronx!	3348 is right. 5 blocks is nothing compared to 4 blocks and waiting for a train. Honestly, I don't know why they even bother to mark that transfer from the F to the 6 [and its 59th comrades]. I heard that quite often, it doesn't even work. Aside from that, the F is an okay train. No extreme complaints. At Rockefeller Center one day, I swear, it was like three F's before one D came. _________________________ The Pelham Express at your service. ~_^ The Bronx is up.

On the Weekdays I understand but on the Weekends the (F) has good service but during the week especialy Rush Hours the (F) is Horrible!!! Again blame it on the both the "V and E" lines weekdays. Sharing tracks with those 2 routes, causes congestion. and congestion causes those 20-30 minute delays on many occasions.

NX Sea Beach Express NX Sea Beach Express Bus Driver Registered: 12/16/05 Posts: 497 Loc: Brooklyn	Originally Posted By: Lex Express During the PM rush hour the F often takes 15 minutes to come. F service is lousy. Even in the AM rush N/B from Brooklyn where there is no conflict with other lines until 2nd Ave where priority is given to crossing empty V's while thousands of commuters are delayed on F's. I have also waited at Carroll while 3, yes 3, G trains would pass before an F would come down the hill. The F needs serious help. It was the worst part about living in Carroll Gardens. _________________________ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 A B C D E F G J L M N Q R S V W Z
